DOUBLE NICKLE DAY

Better Half sighs at his age today. He's officially a senior citizen. He joked that he was turning into Grandpa Simpson. "I'm alone, and cold, and there's wolves after me."

Dude, no. As Gru said to Dr. Nefario, "Why are you so... old?"

I should point out that the man never acts his age. Eternally the goofball, taking BH into a hobby or gun store is a calorie-burning experience on par with herding cats. Or herding otters.

Many moons ago, when we were in the Denver Aquarium animal husbandry department, BH had a chance to care for otters. These are his favorite. He was happy to chop up fish and hose off Lutrinae shit. It became obvious to everyone that this was his totem animal - it was difficult to discern which was more hyper at feeding time.

Speaking of food, we did a raincheck on BH's birthday dinner. Burgatory is in the works on Thursday. We probably won't get out of there for under $55 but a quick glance at the menu tells me the prices just might be worth it.

Anyway, a heartfelt Happy Birthday to the husfiend. You otter know by now that I love you.

Today we celebrate Independence Day, which has its roots in the American revolutionary war. It was a push for freedom and democracy - the desire to be independent from Great Britain - that allowed our nation to thrive.

"Push". It's an odd-sounding word with so many interpretations.

You can push something or someone away, such as bodyguards pushing paparazzi from a star. You can push yourself away from something, like a reporter pushing off the wall move forward again. You can push forward, and in fact push or shove the bodyguard to the ground. And, of course, that bodyguard might be pushing his age thus he snaps his hip when he hits the pavement. You might want to push some narcotics on him at that point - or pray you haven't pushed the other bodyguards to emotional breaking point. In their frustration, they might push for the police to arrest your sorry ass, and that's when you'd be pushing your luck.
